As of December 31, 2021, the company operated 383 restaurants in the royalty pool in Canada. The company was founded in 2002 and is based in Richmond, Canada.
How the Company Makes MoneyThe company makes money primarily through royalty income derived from the franchise agreements it has with Boston Pizza restaurants across Canada. These agreements typically involve franchisees paying a percentage of their gross sales to Boston Pizza Fund. This royalty structure allows the fund to earn income without directly managing the day-to-day operations of the restaurants. Additionally, Boston Pizza Fund may engage in strategic partnerships and marketing initiatives to enhance the brand's visibility and attract more franchisees, thereby expanding its revenue base. Key factors contributing to its earnings include the overall performance and sales growth of the franchised restaurants, as well as the successful expansion of new franchise locations.
